A figure slowly emerged from the shadows, and in this Mountain Mist night, a silvery moonlight poured down like water, stretching her silhouette long and ethereal. Lin Lingsu looked at Wang Tuozi with an expressionless face, as if gazing at an unrelated corpse—calm and cruel.
"You've been following me for quite some time, haven't you?" Wang Tuozi said coldly, eyeing the uninvited guest.
"Not long, three months, seven days," Lin Lingsu replied lightly.
"It was since I left Hunan that you started tailing me, right?"
"You know?"
Wang Tuozi chuckled. "I've been setting up this formation for seven days. You hid motionless in that patch of grass, afraid I'd discover you. You drank mineral water twenty-one times and ate bread thirteen times—compressed bread from the military, I presume?"
"I never knew you had a keen nose aside from your other... talents," Lin Lingsu said flatly.
Wang Tuozi laughed dismissively. "Since you didn't disturb me, why would I seek trouble? It's just a pity..."
"A pity about what?"
"It's just a pity that after seven days, I have no urge to relieve myself. If I had sprinkled a little on your head, you probably wouldn't have moved at all."
Lin Lingsu's anger flared. "Wang Chuyi, you truly are a dog that can't stop eating shit."
"I actually want to know," Wang Tuozi's eyes sparkled with mischief, "how you've managed not to relieve yourself these past few days. Adult diapers, perhaps?"
Under the moonlight, Lin Lingsu's cheeks flushed crimson. Gritting her teeth as she glared at Wang Tuozi, she forcefully changed the subject. "Wang Tuozi, today I will definitely kill you—to avenge my father, my grandfather, and all the people of the Lin family."
"Wang Tuozi" waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Stop right there. My grandfather and your father have nothing to do with me. Your grandfather died from his own anger, and your father was killed by the joint schemes of 'Ning Suwen' and 'Xu Suwen.' It has nothing to do with me."
"Lin Lingsu" coldly replied, "Either you die today, or I do."
"Wang Tuozi" said, "Girl, I advise you to return to 'Dragon Tiger Mountain.' Your sect was nearly wiped out by just one finger from my disciple. If you don't go back now, your disciples and grandchildren might turn against you. They might even take you to court for false advertising. You should hurry back... If you delay any longer, you'll lose your last bit of fortune."
"Lin Lingsu" stepped forward, her eyes shining fiercely as she looked at "Wang Tuozi." A blood mark on her cheek was clearly visible in the moonlight as she spoke each word deliberately, "Wang Chuyi, do you know what you're doing? If this method is unleashed, there will surely be a great disaster in the Southwest in the coming years!"
"Wang Tuozi" felt a chill run through him and coldly replied, "Since you know, I won't hide it from you, Girl. You are not my match; it would be wise for you to mind your own business."
"Lin Lingsu" shook her head vigorously, standing still as an invisible pressure began to close in on "Wang Tuozi."
Time passed slowly. "Wang Tuozi" felt anxious; if he missed this moment, it would be disastrous. Last time at the "Wind Gate," it was "Lin Lingsu" who disrupted his painstakingly cultivated method of crossing over. If this Girl were to ruin it again, he might never find such an opportunity in this lifetime.
He had already waited a hundred years; "Wang Tuozi" no longer wanted to wait.
He looked at "Lin Lingsu" and coldly asked, "Are you leaving or not?"
"Lin Lingsu" did not respond. Her black hair floated up as a slight smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth, revealing a hint of stubborn cruelty.
For this reason, the Lin family had also waited for a hundred years; they no longer wished to wait.
Today would be the day to settle their grievances with "Wang Tuozi."
With a clear sound of metal ringing, "Lin Lingsu" drew a "Seven Star Sword," its tip trembling slightly as it locked onto "Wang Chuyi." She slowly raised her head; her pale face contrasted sharply with the red mark on it. Yet at that moment, her words sent chills down one's spine: "Wang Chuyi, draw your sword."
Wang Chuyi smiled lightly and said, "After all these years of being my opponent, you don't even know what weapon your grandfather used?" With that, Wang Chuyi formed a hand seal and began to chant softly.
Suddenly, Lin Lingsu's face turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell from his forehead. Losing his balance, he dropped the Seven Star Sword to the ground. Lin Lingsu's expression was extremely pained, clearly suffering to the utmost.
A hint of pity flashed in Wang Chuyi's eyes as he retracted his hand seal and said, "You should leave. If you don't go now, I will have to continue chanting."
"You... when did you..." Lin Lingsu cradled his abdomen, the residual pain still lingering. "Wang Chuyi, you're despicable."
"Many people in this world want my life, but unfortunately, they are all dead now. The only one left is me. Do you think I've survived all this time just by luck?" Wang Tuozi replied calmly. "The Golden Toad Charm is a treasure from the Miao Region, controlled by the will of the person who has been cursed. When the Curse Poison strikes, it feels like a thousand ants gnawing at your heart. If you don't want to suffer this kind of torment constantly, it's best to keep your distance from me."
With that, Wang Tuozi ignored Lin Lingsu and continued to change his hand seals. Suddenly, an overwhelming Evil Energy began to swirl in the air, thickening as it lingered for a long time.
From below came a sound like a monstrous roar, heavy enough to suffocate.
Wang Chuyi tossed a Red Pearl into the air, and instantly, a brilliant red light filled the space. He formed another hand seal and suddenly a blue aura rose into his mind, emerging from his left eye as an Azure Dragon appeared at his side. Alongside it stood an Azure Dragon Deity holding a flag inscribed with "Azure Dragon" in one hand and a sword in the other. Then Wang Chuyi shouted loudly as he formed another hand seal; a white aura rose from his nose and transformed into a White Tiger standing on his right side. A White Tiger Deity accompanied it, holding a sword in one hand and a tiger flag in the other. Following this pattern, Wang Chuyi formed additional seals to summon the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise behind him.
Wang Chuyi's eyes widened as he pointed his left thumb from one seal to another and recited loudly: "Open the door, close the earth gate, leave the human door, block the ghost path, penetrate the ghost heart, break the ghost belly, lay down golden beams and erect jade pillars, surround the four mountains and overturn the five peaks; gather the vital energy and let all evils subdue themselves!"
Lin Lingsu watched in shock and couldn't help but exclaim, "The Three Platforms of Seven Stars battling! Wang Chuyi, have you gone mad? You actually want to summon both the Three Souls Boy and Seven Spirits General at the same time? Are you really trying to bring about a catastrophe unseen for a thousand years?"
Wang Chuyi remained silent, his expression cruel as he continued chanting his incantations. Dark clouds gathered above while the sounds from below grew louder; the entire hill felt suffocating under an Eerie Aura that enveloped everything.
